As the giddy minions gear-up for "President-elect" Obama's news conference today and the transition of power over the coming weeks, what is your view of the new "President-elect"?
Do you consider Obama "Your President"? Will you partake in past conventional acceptance and show respect for him holding such Office? or.. will you decide to not support him as President?
Personally, I do not consider him my "President". Obviously, this pains me because as an American I would want to feel great about supporting whomever is duly elected. But Obama was pushed through, in my opinion, not vetted - just shuffled through the process by the Liberal Press (lamestream media). He was NEVER challenged on the negatives of his associations and never even specifically took the time to answer questions on his Birth Certificate or to answer the Flag pin controversy or his 'hands at his waist' during the National Anthem. The largest issue of divide is his stance on abortion. Secondly is his liberal influence which terrifies me in how he might handle the placement of Judges on the Supreme Court and the many other, but still critical lower Courts. Thirdly is how he might dilute the Military and mishandle the War.
Who is this President-elect to you?
Is he "Your President"? If so...........why? And, if not..............why not?
Not no but hell no.
No. I took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. He has stated that he considers the Constitution an obstacle to his designs for this country. That makes him my enemy.
You said — “Didn’t contribute this quarter because of this BS. I feel like I’m back at college signing discussion boards. “
Yep, that’s what it’s turning into — vanitypublic.com — LOL...
I also commented (a few days ago) about Free Republic being turned into a “rah-rah” board, and not much of substance (just like the “other side” does). Many don’t think the polls are accurate and get out their “rah-rah” tools and rant and rave — and then, the polls turn out to be right, after all.
I’ve seen it in the Presidential elections of 2000, 2004 and now 2008, and the last mid-terms of 2006.
This is a similar type of thing, as the vanities. There is getting to be less and less useful information here and less and less useful discussion here. I’m afraid this board is going downhill — into a typical “college discussion board” (like you’re saying)...
Not even close.
He will NEVER be MY President:
I don’t think he will ever produce his birth certificate.
I agree, the election is over, kill the vanities now.
I am a conservative American Obama is a liberal. Obama is now the president of the United States and as such I will afford him the exact amount of respect the liberals granted George W Bush his predecessor.
My common sense says no....
my loyalty to country,regardless of who’s president,says yes. I don’t like it,but it is what it is....
Till 2012.
Every bit as much as President Bush was the left’s president! I’ll show him the same amount of respect they showed him.
I’ll turn the other cheek until they try to get between my two rear ones. That’s when I start fighting.
For myself, I need the fellowship of conservatives right now. This is not going to be an easy four years and it isn’t just Obama. We are facing some scary times financially.
As for Obama being my president. Whew. Yeah, he is president elect. I’m an American. That means he will be my President. And I fully expect this man and his administration to:
1. Rub out any and all dissenting voices. i.e. Fairness Doctrine. Drive By Media, and the destruction of lives as he attempted to do to Joe the Plumber.
When this happens, I will fight back against this thug, this socialist, who has now been elected as President of the United States. God help us all."

Perfectly said, and I entirely agree. "Vanity" threads allow for commentary and discourse. I'm so sick of most every article coming out of the LameStream Press right now. Even Fox News was gloating over Obama's Press Conference today. (I wouldn't care if Fox took Shep Smith immediately off-air as long as they took Colmes right along with him.).
No. He is an anti-Christ. Heck, he may be The Anti-Christ.
Time will tell.
You know, screaming for impeachment 24/7, blaming him for every catastrophe since The Fall Of Rome, calling It a chickensh@t thief and corrupt commie, a disgrace to the office, and the slimiest sub-human that ever crawled out of the Chicago Slime Bucket.
In other words, the Usual.
You said — “I agree, the election is over, kill the vanities now.”
Yep...
I just read a vanity where the person *completely forgot* to include any of the “who, what, when, where, why”....
You had to actually *read his mind* to figure out who he was talking about and then guess on any of the other details. It was like he was doing a “brain dump” and wanted to see what it looked like on Free Republic... LOL...
I’m afraid it’s getting super bad here...
Not a chance.
Anyone who supports infanticide can never be my President!
“Why all these vanities? Why arent we posting news articles???”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We’re only doing the same as the MSM has been doing for the past two years and will be doing for the next year, or the next term.
Maybe the American Revolution wasn’t such a great idea after all.
He was selected (by the media) not fairly elected.
